Story of q Minister.

The Boston Record rehabllitates a
story which may not be as new as
some others, but is better than the
great majority. A minister very
small in statue but of great ability
oEce mad a charge near Boston.
One Sunday he came to the latter city
to preach in the Old South Church.
The Record tells the rest:
In the forenoon he was assisted by
the regular pastor of the church, who
conducted the preliminary services OF
singing and prayer and the reading
of the scriptures. When the time for
the sermon came the congregation
saw little round head barely ap.
pearIng above the great pulpit, and
the big sounding board overhead gave
all the strength it could to the mild
piping voice, which in announcing the
text said reassuringly: at is I; be not
afraid" The contrast between the
idea conveyed by the words and the
person and manner of the speaker
was so ridiculous that very audi
able smile rippled over the usually
dignified congregation. Mr.. Hurd
was very much mortified by the laugh
ter that arose, and to provide
against any further ridicule of his
small size he had q foot-stool placed
in the pulpit before the afternoon
service. At that service he announced
his text with great confidence: "a lit.
tie while, and ye shall not see me; and
again, a little while, and you shall see
me. "Then he began to repeat his text,
and, stepping back to give it orator.
ical effect, tumbled off from his crick-
ct and disappeared.

Twice Defied Death.

Atlanta Constitution.
81 have been twice prepared for
burial. My right arm was shot off
and a shell took off large slice OF my
chin and knocked out fivefront teeth,
exclaimed an ex-confederate veteran
recently.
The speaker was during the war an
orderly sergeant in the Third Georgia
regiment. He had just returned from
New Orleans, where he attended the
Mardi Gras festivities, and was on
his way home in Wilkes county. Ar
| irving in Atlanta he missed train con
nection, and was compelled to stop
over. The thought Of his pension oc-
| curedto him, and he walked into Cover
nor Gordon's office about 5'oclock. The
veteran presented himself to Captain
Harrison, the popular and genial
clerk of the executive department, and
showed that functionary his creden-
tials. They proved to be correct, and
a warrant was given him on the trea-
surer for forty dollars.
Yes. l saw some pretty tough fight

armed veteran, land had many hair
breadth escapes, was engaged in a
hand to-hand conflict with yank at
the battle of Gettysburg, who had
succeeded in putting a bullet in my
right side. 1t was a fierce struggle.

the captain had been killed, and took

His aim was unerrlng, for my right

A check for over $14,OOO,OOO,

From the New York Mail.
The biggest check ever drawn in the

John D. Taylor, now dead, but then
Treasurer of the Pennsylvania Rail,
road, to Lee, Higginson & Co., o.
Boston, in payment for the Boston
stock in the Philadelphia, Whining

millions of it was owned in Boston
Nathaniel Taylor was the largest
stakeholder, and he had agreed to de,
liver to Jay Gould enough to give him
a controlling interest and enable him
to bring the road into harmony with
the Jersey Central, and then dispose
of the two as thought best. But Mr..
Taylor was in his old age, and he was
unable to fulfill the contract. Enough

Beecher at a Church Fair

new 1OrH Lebber"
Henry Ward Beecher's lady parish"
toner's have been holding q fair In Fly
mouth church and the pastor has
been there every evening assisting to
make things pleasant. Admlsslo" was
free one day and evening" and many
people, who did not care to buy tides
and had no particular interest IN Vot-
ing afghans to popular girls went lusG
to see Beecher. He spent most OF his
time in the gallery, where refreshments
we're served, sitting with his back
against the table and swapping stores
with gentleman who wore a skull
Cap and did most ofthe talking. When
Mr.. Beechsy told all anecdote he did
so with gusto, ard thumped the back
OF his chair with his fist, and when the
other man made a good point Ihs
| broad shoulders of the preacher heaVeH
with mirth. But Papa Beecher real
lied thatit was the hope OF seeing niiS
that kept the throng OF people wan
deriffg about, and he came out from
his quiet fiook and stood on top OF
the gallery steps with his friend, sur
veving the scene, chattfpg and giving
the crowd an opportunity to lnspect
him. Beecher's appearance INDICATED
perfect health and strength. his lace
was ruddy, and his eyes clear, ana
his frame as sturdy as ever. Only IN
| his snow-white hair, getting rather
thin, did be show his 7O-odd years
When he smiled he was the personltl-
cation ofiovial, unctious good nature
and when he scowled he looked like
man with whom 1T would be unpleas-
ant to quarrel. His face was that OF
a. strong-natured, full-blooded big
hearted man, who could go into troll
| ic Or fight with all his soul. after
| standing upon the stairs long enough TO
satisfy reasonably curiosity, Beecher
went down upon the floor and was at
once surrounded by a swarm OF Wom-
en-, with whom he chatted gOod-hu-
nOredly few minutes. A tall, elusive
woman in sealskins was introduced to
| him, and as she shook hands she SAID
loudly, and with a very gushing smile;
| II am 50 glad to meet you; my nus
| band is very great admirer OF you.
Beecher turned rather abruptly and
started for another part of the roonIs
as though anxious to avoid hearing
| any more about the adulatory hus-
band. His head was pushed forward
and his shoulders stopped like man
in a hurry, and his face was oddly
amusing to an observer. His lower
lip dropped as though he were about
to speak but no sound came out Of
his mouth. The whole expression OF
his face seemed to be an arrested
grunt of chestnut" Five minutes
later the long, white locks OF the
preacher could be seen in q centre OF
a group of nodding bonnets at one OF
the lunch tables in the gallery.
